About Title: A novel with a great deal to it, and which very properly is going to interest many thousands of readers. In his pictures of the fearful condition of a certain part of the South during the Reconstruction period, under the domination of negroes and carpet-baggers, Mr. Dixon has undoubtedly written with great sincerity, candor, even self-restraint. It is a big subject to him, something very near to his heart, and through it all there is the ring of truth and honesty and hot-eyed indignation. About Series: The Clansman would serve as the script for one of the epic silent films of Hollywood -- The Birth of a Nation. In the Klan trilogy - The Leopard's Spots (1902), The Clansman (1905), The Traitor (1907) - and in The Sins of the Fathers (1912), "Dixon presents racial conflict as an epic struggle, with the future of civilization at stake. Although Dixon personally condemned slavery and Klan activities after Reconstruction ended, he argued that blacks must be denied political equality because that leads to social equality and miscegenation, thus to the destruction of both family and civilized society."
